Anybody else who knows the comics real anxious about that cage and that Buddy may still be brought into the show? Only he’s held by Zhang instead? And Zhang knows who Buddy is because she has history with Big Man?

Or am I the only one?

NAVIA MY BELOVED

Can you just write some kissing headcanons for her or something?

I don't even care what it is, I just love Navia so much (I'm not even joking, I just start making monkey noises when I see her because she makes my brain act weird, she's that beautiful)

(Genshin Impact) Navia kissing HC's

Will do!

Navia's kisses are much like her desserts, very sweet!

They are also full of passion, no matter the time or place, Navia will kiss her S/O with full force.

Lips? Cheek? Forehead? It makes no difference to her, as long as she gets to shower them in affection, she's happy.

(Navia) "S/O, Mon chéri/Ma chérie, come here!"

Depending on how passionate she's feeling that moment, she will either wrap her very strong arms around S/O's waist and threaten almost to crush them, kissing their cheek.

Or Navia squishes both her hands against S/O's cheeks and kisses them on the lips.

Her lipstick on their face is also a very common sight, almost to a comical degree.

Navia laughs it off and helps clean the lipstick from wherever she kissed them.

(Navia) "Oops, sorry! Guess I went a little overboard, huh?"

She is not sorry, Not by a longshot.

(Possible Spoilers about Navia below the cut, proceed at your own risk!)

A major reason why Navia kisses S/O like there's no tomorrow, is because she doesn't know what day might be her last with S/O.

Navia had lost so many people she cared about through her life.

As much as she despised to think about it, she couldn't entirely deny the possibility of them meeting the same fate.

That being said, Navia would fight tooth and nail, expend every last bullet and every fiber of her being to make sure that S/O would live to see another sunrise over the waters with her.

And showing her affection, she does not want to think about a "what if" of not showing them enough love.

As flamboyant and loving as her kisses are in public, there is a much softer side she does not show anyone outside their room.

The kiss is much softer, but her grip around S/O is just as tight, perhaps even tighter than before, if such a thing were possible.

She rests her forehead against theirs, her blue eyes shut as quietly breathes through her nose.

(Navia) "Je t’aime, S/O..."

The more insecure she's feeling that day, the more clingy her kisses become.

She absolutely melts whenever they return her admittedly overbearing affection, resting her head on their shoulders.

(Navia) "Thank you for being here with me. It means more than you could ever know."

With a final gentle kiss on their forehead dispelling her anxieties, she flashes S/O her usual bright smile.

(Navia) "...Oops, forehead is smeared with my lipstick again! Lemme fix that!"

OMG HELLO!!! i see that u do tf2 and i’d love to request smth hehehehheheALSO ur account is so pretty what ?!?!

but i hope you’re well dude! can i request some relationship headcanons with some (or all!!) of the mercs pls? or any basic headcanons !!

take your time btw:)

the tf2 mercs in a relationship + headcanons

pairing: mercs x reader (gender not specified)

authors note: MY FIRST REQUEST WAAAHH also oml thank you, you’re so sweet :( some headcanons coming your way! ... also i apologize if they're ooc, this is my first time writing for them:'(

disclaimer: minor spoilers for the comic in heavy's!

Scout:

i’ll be honest, when scout found out Miss Pauling was a lesbian he was pretty beat up for a while

that was until he realized other people exist!

he literally follows u around like a puppy dog when he realizes he has a crush on you

ALWAYS TRYNA RIZZ YOU UP LIKE SCOUT PLEASE WE'RE ABOUT TO GET BLOWN UP BY THE ENEMY SOLDIER

his love language is definitely physical touch and words of affirmation

and is ungodly touch starved

i can see him trying to find ways to touch you, and not in a sexual way... just either grazing your arm when he talks to you, or he stays shoulder-to-shoulder with you when you sit next to each other

he finds it very very comforting

and if you tell this man he looks very handsome or just occasional i love you's, he'll fold ong

his heart melts and he just wants to hold you till he can't anymore

but i think Miss Pauling and Scout would be pretty good buds after the whole "Scout constantly flirting with Miss Pauling" thing died down

and his confession was pretty cringey ngl

his crush on you was very evident so when he tries to ask you out, you say yes

(skipping down the halls with joy)

bisexual icon

Soldier:

oh man

this dude's flirting is... so hard to detect😭

but a lot of his attention is on you!

and makes a lot of exceptions for you

for someone who doesn't like loud noises and is very sensitive to outside stimuli, if you're like me and he notices it, he'll definitely find a way to be more quiet

like if you and the rest of the mercs are lined up and notices you're cowering or anxious asf, he's goes soft and let's you go

if you thank him or say you appreciate him for his efforts, his face is SO RED.

but he salutes you and said he was happy to do for a fellow compatriot

(his hearts beating so fast help him pls)

BUT if you're just as loud and upbeat as him/share his energy, he's in heaven

he loves that you like to blow shit up with him?!?! like omg this is my lover and i will marry them on this battlefield right now.

love languages is totally acts of service

like if you save this man from the enemy he's blushing so fucking hard like omg i love you

with his confession, it was straight forward and to the point (but he was beet red ... basically my hc on him is that he blushes very easily fhjrebjh)

also gender doesn't matter to him, he loves who he loves

Pyro:

HUBBA BUBBA

i love pyro sm :3

anyway

best lover!!!

gifts and quality time!!!

alwwaaaaaaays giving you gifts like omg all the time

your reaction is her FAVORITE

like they'll find a flower burnt to a crisp or a homemade corpse bracelet and he'll have the brightest aura

LOVES MAKING CRAFTS WITH YOU OMG!

jumping up and down if you give her something

like she's the happiest person in the world

bonus if you share a love for fire

campfires/bonfire dates!!

and you're probably the only one who understands him (alongside Engi, of course) so your conversations are endless!

and is suchhh a sweet tooth

such a soft and loving partner!

when pyro confesses (and you accept) he's leaping with joy quite literally

BIG HUG :)))

asexual royalty!!!

Demoman:

holy moly

VERY DRAMATIC WHEN HES DRUNK AND VERY CLINGY

which is a lot of the time cause yknow, very much alcoholic

but when he's sober he's pretty level headed NFJHBJ (comics for reference)

idk man he gives off best friend kinda lover

like he's always so hype and the best to be around

so when he found out he had a crush on you, he was pretty much head over heels

when he's drunk he's always holding you

hugs, kisses, hand holding, slumping on you

NAPS!

omg the best to nap with ong

BRO IS A FUCKING HEATER he's always so gd HOT

so if you're taking a nap with him don't get a blanket he's legit sprawled all over you

but it's kind of a different story when he's sober (he gives you your space but def rolls around in his sleep)

oh boy his confession was definitely when he was on his 100th drink

his confession was SO SLURRED

if you said yes he's over the moon

Heavy:

honestly, this man is a huge softy

and VERY protective.

have you seen him in the comics? he was 100% ready to kill a man over Medic's death (and just his natural protectiveness, like his family for example)

but dude his love language is for sure acts of service and physical touch

when he realized he had a crush on you, he always kinda stuck by you on the battlefield

even with the high of combat, his eye always finds youuu😭

i love heavy sm

and its quite obvious this man doesn't speak much, unless in his native tongue (which isn't often)

so even if he doesn't say anything, he'll for sure stand by you or take your hand

if you have anxiety, this man is SUCH a comfort

also you'd def be the one to confess

if you asked him out or asked to if you could be his partner, he is kinda shocked but is very very happy :)

lets you hold Sasha

no label, love is love

Engineer:

AUGRRHHRR SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY

i'm so deeply in love with this man omg someone sedate me

but anyway

is SO polite and is SO PATIENT

he absolutely adores it when you visit him when he's working

it gets lonely sometimes because he focuses best when the others aren't around (aside from pyro) ... but when he realized how much he loved your presence, he expected almost every day for you to visit him at least once

(gets bummed when you don't)

but if you have a genuine curiosity for what he does and what it means, he tells you ALL about it!!!

he understands it can be very confusing if you haven't studied engineering/computer science, etc... so he is more than happy to explain it to you :)

BARBEQUES!!

loves cooking for you and would sooo wear a "kiss the cook" or something cheesy like that (he finds it funny and hopes to get a smoochy)

quality time quality time quality time

and pet names

omg pet names

"love", "darlin'", "sweetheart", "buttercup"

HIS CONFESSION OMG

i can kinda see engi being a bit cheesy honestly

his confession would be pretty casual! he wasn't too stressed about asking you... and would probably slip the question in mid-convo !

rfhbrtgbj much love for this man

pansexual!

Medic:

I'll be honest here

his love is lowkey highkey possessive

but i think it'd either take a while for him to realize his feelings for you or would become attached VERY QUICKLY

there's zero in between

with his deep love and possession, he finds such deep fascination with your anatomy/body

not even sexually bro

he just thinks you're so incredible and puts u under a microscope

PHYSICAL TOUCH

this man hasn't felt the touch a person in years (aside from the mercs' checkups obviously)

and übercharge, if it was a love language

worships u ONG

loves to see you with such confidence when he activates the übercharge omfg

he thinks you're the most attractive thing he ever laid eyes on

confession? nah yall kinda just started dating; yall kinda just started happening

let me explain😭if someone was tryna ask you out, medic would be pretty quick to step in

uses his height to his advantage to let the person know what's up 😨

bisexual with a def male lean

Sniper:

at first you would definitely think sniper hates you

he wouldn't purposely avoid you, but he like spends zero personal time with you at first

he's always in his van and istg u wanna drag him out and force him to tolerate you

(and he'd probably find that very attractive if you did)

but if he found out he has feelings for you? oh boy oh boy

acts of service 🔛🔝

if you were in close combat with someone and you tripped, the enemy having the upper hand... you'd hear a sudden gunshot in the enemy's skull and a loud thud.

but before you could look up, he was nowhere to be found (you knew it was him and you were very appreciative)

if you brought it up to him OH MY GOD his face would be soooo red soso red

"Don't worry about it, mate..." HIDES UNDER HAT HIDES UNDER HAT HIDES UNDER HAT

the most bisexual man i have ever seen

Spy:

too suave for his own good dude

his love is very old-fashioned!

when spy finds his massive crush on you, is when he realizes the comfort of your presence

if you can have comfortable silence with spy is when he is totally connected/in love with you

smoking out the window/evening night conversations!

also when i tell you this man gets so flustered if you one-up him...

he'll wave it off and play it mad casual but on the inside he's malfunctioning

would definitely take you to the best, high-class restaurants and walks you home omg

HAND KISSES FOREHEAD KISSES

loves to spoil you holy shit

always buying you stuff (jewelry, clothes, shoes, personal things you like... he bought it already)

which btw love language is definitely gifting and quality time

def bisexual like cmon

The silence was broken as Epithumia–better known as Desire and the sibling who Dream has had the most contentious relationship with as of late–squealed and broke into ecstatic giggles. They flung themselves at Dream, wrapping him in a fierce hug and pressing their violently red lips to his cheek. “There he is,” Desire said as they backed away, hands trailing up to frame Dream's face, comically mushing his cheeks together until his lips puckered like a cartoon goldfish. “There is the brother I love so much. I have missed you.”

black noir fic recommendations

these are the fics that i love and adore so so much and that’s why they are here and you should totally support them if u feel the same. give the likes, comments, and reblogs because they’re so good.

also give the writers the love they deserve because they sure as hell deserve it for writing these amazing stories!

i may also put some fics that are from AO3 on here and you should totally do the same and give them all the love and support as the ones on here!

also what i interpret things as fluff/angst might be different to other people and it's just an opinion based.

on tumblr.

ೃ⁀➷ fluff

in the night by @seeds-and-sins it’s just pure fluff and there needs to be more fluffy stuff for noir (specifically the show noir since noir in the comics is literally the worst) but show noir I just love and I love this.

ೃ⁀➷ fluff/kinda dark (?)

in your dreams by @seeds-and-sins a sequel to the fic above and it’s a bit more dark, noir doesn’t know how to approach reader without breaking a few laws. but nonetheless i love, love, love this fic and it’s amazing and you should show it all the love!

ೃ⁀➷ fluff

build a bear by @narcissiah just pure fluff. that’s it tooth rotting fluff that makes me happy every time reading it and it’s just so amazing. also some spoilers for season 2 that’s about but it’s totally worth the read.

on AO3.

ೃ⁀➷ angst/dark fic

soft spot by deleted account black noir is kinda stalker ish here and that’s why it’s a dark fic and he doesn’t know how to tell reader he likes her without scaring her.

ೃ⁀➷ fluff/teeny angst

inner sanctuary by bardsambrosia god I just love this one here it’s so amazing and so sweet and really shows off noirs gentler side and you should totally check it out if you’re a fan of noir.

Headcanons! Some Spoilers?

My first post got a lot more attention than I thought it would, so I'm just gonna drop some headcanons. I'll do a few different characters from different shows, anime/mangas, etc. If you don't know much about the characters, there will be some info on them that some people may not know already (Ex; character death, big events, whatever).

Some HCs are on the sad side while others are just silly, nonserious ones.

Also, if you disagree with any of these HCs, that's totally fine! Please just don't be negative about it or anything. And if you want to correct me on anything, go right ahead.

First up, I'm gonna do Jason Todd from the Batman Comics/shows. I love Jason so much, nothing could ever make me hate him <3

I feel like he'd believe in "hair holding memories" thing, so after his death and revival, he'd shave his head countless times to try and forget all the bad memories. Poor boy :(

For a happier HC, I think he'd be an absolute boss at Just Dance or automatically become the God of a video game that any of his younger 'siblings' need help with beating.

I also have a slight feeling he'd cheat during a silly 'family game night' thing and be hiding uno cards in his jacket or something LOL. Bro's the type to make one move during a game of chess before giving up and flipping the board.

Onto Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen :D

I used to be a huge Gojo hater for no reason lol, but now he's kinda one of my favorites.

Since it's canon that he has a sweet tooth, I have a feeling he stress eats/bored eats (eats a bunch when stressed out or bored) and gets tummy aches pretty often from that.

I feel like he'd tear up a dance floor at a stupid little highschool event or something, but not like normal dancing. Bro probably dances like a Hotel Transylvania character LMFAO.

Lastly, Diluc Ragnvindr from Genshin Impact!!

Fun fact: he was my first main besides the traveler on Genshin Impact.

I HC that the poor man has a rough time sleeping (specifically after the Snezhnaya events and the death of his father). Whenever Kaeya sneaks into the Dawn Winery, he probably holds his big brother until he can sleep peacefully <3

(NO, I DO NOT ship the brothers in GI or the Batfam. Get those brownies outta here /ref)

Another silly HC I got is that Diluc used to be the sweetest kid in Mondstadt, but was unintentionally a little chaos magnet. Definitely a leash child so Crepus wouldn't have a heart attack when wondering where his son ran off to for the 60th time that day.

Bonus HC: Babysitter Varka. Must I say any more? Bro's probably still a big father figure in Diluc's life and sends weekly letters checking up on him.

Y'all are so lucky I forgot about HSR characters, otherwise I woulda yapped about at least 6 of them LOL. Might make a separate post later just for them, maybe multiple. Who knows.

If you noticed, yes. I learned how to insert images and I will 100% abuse that. When I learn how to insert emojis, I'm abusing that too. (I'm on a computer so I don't have emojis available as of right now.)

If you want to request HCs of any other character from the mentioned fandoms(? Is that what you call it?), go right ahead and ask! I probably won't get to it immediately since cramps are manhandling me right now, but I'll do it ASAP.

Anyways, have a great day, evening, and/or night, and make sure you stay hydrated!

I hold hands with cosmic entities I've got a sweet tooth baby

🦷 @turtleinsoup's Lemonade Leak has given me the brain rot.

Always love a good parasite turned symbiotic roommate plot and thought our little creatures would get along swimmingly. They have so much in common already~ This is so extremely self indulgent oops! I've been avoiding posting/doodling my main rottmnt oc because of my own comic/fic/project spoilers but damnit this image would not leave my head.

Sweet Tooth: Season 3 Review--NOT SPOILER FREE

Okay, so this season, I actually managed to take my time with it and not binge it all in one day. Overall, I thought this show was really sweet and had one of the best found families when it came to this trope. It was just very unique too, imo; I don't remember seeing anything involving hybrids like Gus that also tie into a post apocalyptic world. The show is based off a comic of the same name, so maybe one day I will check it out. If you didn't read the title, this is NOT spoiler free, so reader beware. The show continues with Gus and his friends trying to find Birdie, Gus' mom. They get information that she is up in Alaska. So now, from Colorado, they must make their way up to Alaska while avoiding the Zhang family, who is intent on capturing Gus and using him to find a cure for The Sick. This season is a bit darker in comparison to the previous seasons, imo, but it is like going through a tunnel, while being able to see the light at the end. This season I would say is probably when Gus is forced to face the world for what it is---he sees the cruelness of people, the greediness of people, and lots of death. The end kind of had me laughing since Zhang's people turned out to not be as loyal she thought. She was still set on sacrificing Gus to try and reverse The Sick so human birth could start again. But, I think they were more than happy to be alive, and to be free of The Sick, than to think about following her again. But they made up with those at the Alaska base and helped them rebuild.

With everything that happened in this season, the goal was to get to a cave where The Sick originated. Birdie had the notebook of Captain James Thatcher, who was the first to discover The Sick, and thus, he and his crew were the first to contract it. However, with all the notes, there was no location written down of the whereabouts of this cave. Gus and Dr. Singh were going off of vision like dreams, while Zhang is just trailing after Gus.

There is a lot of death in this season, from the entire ship of dead they run into, to the death of Dr. Singh, who saved Gus from getting crushed by a rock. But I think the saddest death was that of Birdie, Gus' mom. They'd only just met each other, seen each other for the first time, and she died after not even knowing him for a day. But she died for him, to protect her baby. Personally, I think she sacrificed herself to save Jepp, who was closer to Gus and just as protective.

Towards the end of season two, with the narrator's voice, I started thinking for certain that, "This is Gus as an adult." And I was right. The ending shows an aged Gus and Wendy telling the other hybrids a story of "Big Man". Basically, the cure for The Sick, was development of The Sick itself. People, humans, were the illness and the The Sick was created to be a cure. So the humans that were left were the last generation of humans. Everyone born after that was a hybrid. Honestly, I think it was a cool way to end things. For something that you think was going to end sadly, being set "post apocalypse/ fall of society), it has such a sweet ending. Literally, it was tooth rotting sweet--so the show name does justice, haha. Think of it like a phoenix rising from the ashes I suppose. You think everything is lost, the world has ended, but it has only just begun anew.

[earlyzakariya]

Okay before I finish Sweet Tooth S3 here's my death predictions but I read the comics and am basing the predictions off of that, no explicit spoilers but under the cut bc of comic stuff + characters that dont show up in s1/s2 mention

Do not spoil anything in reblogs/commts

Jepp (in like, the last episode)

Rosie (half way to the end of the season)

At least half to all of the wolf boys (an episode before rosie, which devastates her and indirectly causes her death

Madame Zhang (an abbot like situation)

Rosie's sister and her child (she dies in childbirth, Zhang kills the baby in anger)

Rani (shes good as dead but writing her anyways)

Siana (she dies protecting nuka)

A few more people from the outpost

Also I think Aditiya Singh lives that man will be the last human standing and I will die on this hill

Birdie lives actually I am also a firm believer in this I think it would take away from the mother child theme this entire season has going on if she dies

[remy2fang]

FYI I started Arcade mode before World Tour, and I’m glad I did that because the story made more sense that way. I feel like the stories from Arcade mode takes place before the events of WT. That being said, here are my thoughts on the original World Warriors and other characters.

WARNING SPOILERS

WARNING SPOILERS

It seems that almost all of the original world warriors just want to settle down. Ryu found peace and doesn’t fall for the Satsui No Hado. He continues on with his fighting spirit. Guile wants to stay as a family man, Chun-Li wants to teach. Zangief, Dhalsim, wants to teach too.

E. Honda owns a Chanko restaurant in Metro City.

Things are also looking bright for both Blanka and Dee Jay. Blanka became a Tour guide because he wanted to make his mom proud. His work became well known that he even got a movie deal. He’s also passionate about rainforest preservation. Dee Jay has a great music career and he too got a movie deal with Fei Long.

Cammy is currently investigating on JP because of his Shadaloo association…but she also wants to settle down and be happy with Juni and her former Doll sisters. They’re all living happy lives now. RIP März tho.

Li-Fen is a lot more involved with the World Tour story. Honestly before the game dropped, I thought Li-Fen would play second fiddle to Chun-Li and would hardly do anything, but it’s quite the opposite of that. Chun-Li, like all the characters are taking a back seat, allowing the younger generation to shine. I like how Li-Fen developed as a character. We hardly know her at all in SF3. SFV made her into a shy computer prodigy. In SF6, she plays a much more active part in helping the avatar. And grew up to have a spunky personality.

Also characters like Sodom, Abigail, Poison and Hugo seem to be thriving. They all run legitimate businesses.

Retsu didn’t have much personality in SF1. There were depictions of his character in Japanese comics (I never read them), but I think SF6 fleshed him out the most. Looks like he has a sense of humor and is generally more lax and cheerful than one would expect. He continues on competing in tournaments and enjoying life. He also has a sweet tooth too.

I have a feeling that for many of the original world warriors, this may be their last Street Fighter. They’re happy and content. If there’s trouble, they’d have their protégés and the avatar to succeed them. Don’t quote me on this, this is just my take lol.

But that leaves Ken. He’s still in hiding tho. I wonder if he’ll eventually get his happy ending like the others.

Juri didn’t get her revenge on Bison and that’s been bugging her for years. It’s sad to think that she never moved on from that between the end of SFV, during SF3, and then into SF6. She may or may not have her peace, thus she’ll most likely be in future installments of Street Fighter. She hasn’t found her happy ending yet…

Tagged by @comphetkoncass!! Thanks so much!

Last Song: "The Diary of Jane" by Breaking Benjamin. It still goes hard, okay.

Favorite Color: Purple, particularly cool-toned shades. I also like blues and greens a lot.

Last Book: Fairy Tale by Stephen King. I haven't finished it yet because I hit a part where my favorite character won't show up again for about another hundred pages, which killed my motivation. But I want to pick it up again soon.

Last Movie: The Hunt for Red October. My IRL friend group has a weekly movie night and this was last week's pick. I was pretty bored by it, but that's just because it's not my type of movie.

Last TV Show: ARCANE. Literally the best TV show I have ever watched and I'm not sure how my brain is going to handle the final three episodes this Saturday.

Sweet/Savory/Spicy: Hmm, I think sweet. I've always had a sweet tooth, and though my sweet tolerance has diminished some as I've gotten older, I still love chocolate, ice cream, cookies, cake, and other sweets. Gimme those desserts 💜

Relationship Status: Single! And pretty OK with that at the moment. Like if I meet someone and we hit it off that's cool, but I'm also not actively looking right now. I've got Stuff Going On™️, you see.

Last Thing I Searched: "is $500 a high deductible" because I have to pick a new health insurance provider since my current one are being dicks, and that means going over tons of plans and trying to figure out which one's best 🥲

Current Obsession: ARCANE . . . it's clawing the inside of my skull fr

Looking Forward To: Arcane's final three episodes on Saturday. I am also having coffee and dinner with an old friend I haven't seen in a long time on Saturday, and I'm excited for that, too :)

Favorite Drink: I've been super into iced lattes this past year. Cinnamon lattes (hot and iced) are my favorite.

Song Playing on a Loop in Your Head: "To Ashes and Blood" by Woodkid, which is great considering how much pain it causes me 🥲

Current Favorite Character: Jinx! Not only does she make me sad, but her character development and humor this season have also been off the charts. Jinx, they could never make me hate you.

Fun Activity You Would Like to Get Into: I wanna learn to play guitar . . .

Last Video Game: Dragon Age: Veilguard! Still playing it, no spoilers, please :) and yes, I know it technically has a "the" in the title, but it sounds better without it.

Last Comic/Graphic Novel: I am still keeping up with Spy x Family with each new chapter release 💜

Tagging (if you want to!): @caffernnn, @cantfakethecake, @cloudstation, @blondepomeranian, @vaor, but no pressure!

Spoilers under the cut for those that haven’t watched season 2 of Sweet Tooth yet. I'm super late making this post because of unfortunate life events but here we go.

Season 2 was really good. I managed to have the energy to watch it upon release and it didn’t take me long to get through. I ended up finishing it only a few days into May.

It was nice to see Gus’s relationship with the other hybrids, though most of them that were there at the end of season 1 obviously were killed off and it’s odd that they forgot about all of them except for Roy. That was a shame. I can’t remember many of the surviving hybrid kids’ names, but the raccoon girl, Tommy Turtle, the bird girl, and the owl (?) girl are my favorites.

I was disappointed that Johnny was killed and I was hoping that General Abbot missed his shot and didn’t hit something vital. I was expecting Johnny to be found and actually help them against Abbot and be the one to kill him. Am I the only one who started shipping Johnny with Rani? I think they would have been a cute couple because it seemed like they maybe were starting to like one another as both he and Adi started going through their own mindset change. I wish Johnny and Rani would have ended up together.

I also started shipping Aimee with Jepperd. I was surprised that they killed her off. I was a bit disappointed, but it makes sense because her role will be Bear's now to fulfill. I was hoping that Aimee would have ended up with Jepperd, but I had a theory that the one Last Men guy lied to him about his family being dead and gave him some random people's bones and that his family was somehow still alive. I figured that Jepperd would find them alive again next season or a later season (which would be more likely), but then Netflix confirmed that Sweet Tooth was canceled after season 3 which sucks because the comics were apparently much longer and they could have made the series longer. Now I feel like Birdie and Jepperd will end up together perhaps.

Bear and Wendy's reunion was very nice. She'll do anything for her sister. Now she has the rest of the hybrids to protect and it will be interesting to see how their life unfolds with Bear. They've all been through so much and deserve happiness.

This brings me next to the Animal Army. I wish they could have gotten more screen time after Tiger had them betray Bear. They were an important organization and deserved more time to shine before they got killed off this season. I was happy that Tiger and Bear were reunited and that she could get her little redemption arc. Tiger died doing the right thing and was able to warn Bear that the Last Men were coming. I wish she could have lived longer.

Also, that teen boy Bear met when she snuck into the Last Men. I've already forgotten his name. I wonder if he survived and if we will see him next season. I feel like he could have been an important piece this season. He could have been one that could have been brainwashed and come to realize that hybrids aren't the bad ones. He could have seen the light if he would have stuck around Bear. They both could have been important to each other's character. I also started shipping them too. I wonder if we will see him next season and if we will get a reunion between them.

Season 3 is going to have a lot of shoes to fill: Gus and Jepperd's journey to find Birdie, Birdie making the cure, whatever Adi will be up to, whatever Rani is up to now that she's off on her own, Bear and the hybrid kids, and the woman who will take over as the villain for season 3. I wonder how they will get everything done in around 12 episodes. Maybe they will make a few movies?? Who knows. I can't wait to see what happens. I enjoyed this series a lot and I don't want to see it end so soon. I'm such a sucker for found family elements.

I’ve been looking for other media that will resonate like ofmd does for me

I was thinking about what other media has hit me in such personal specific ways as ofmd. So maybe I can crack the code and find even more???

Predictably I’m not having a lot of luck but I DID come up with 1 example: Severance on apple tv.

If you haven’t watched both shows, it may seem like an odd pairing, because OFMD is (mostly) a comedy (wth dramatic bits) and Severance is (mostly) a drama/thriller (with comedic bits). But what can I say my brain sparked to them both in a similar way! And I think there are reasons.

~ the mildest spoilers for seasons 1 of severance and ofmd ~

Both shows have:

10/10 ensemble comedy gold. Original, weird, character-based, funny joke-ass jokes and flawless comedic performances and amazing riffing. (OK so OFMD is a comedy and has much more of this? But even though Severance is NOT a comedy, its comic relief pops up in every ep and is extremely well done.)

a similar … editorial lushness? That thing of, every frame has something juicy to notice, fun little details, little nuances in facial expressions, inside jokes, meaningful uses of color or light or whatever. Also maybe: that thing where every scene is tightly edited to be ~just the good parts~ so by the end of the ep you’re like, that was v satisfying but also I need to apply another coat of it to my consciousness immediately because I’m sure I missed something.

awakenings. ok this is going to be a nebulous half-baked description but. There is this similar theme of characters unmasking / awakening / discovering and trusting themselves / going for things that society doesn’t expect for them. This thing of realizing the truth is within. IMO this is such a healing and important trope and I want to see so much more of it. You could argue this is more blatant in the pirate show? but I think it’s an important part of severance too.

By the way! Those first two bullets just make these things “good,” and plenty of things are good. I think it’s the third one that really makes the difference.

A few more thoughts:

If you are a pirates fan but haven’t seen Severance:

You would like these goofballs riffing in their cubicles for sure.

If you love Black Pete, you will love Dylan.

A character writes a self-help book you will like a lot.

There’s a tooth-achingly sweet gentle delicate romance tucked away within this fairly dark show and it is SO GOOD.

Severance is a lot darker than ofmd but idk, there’s enough sunshine streaming in. it’s joyful too.

If you are a severance fan but haven’t seen Our Flag Means Death:

Underdogs. Underdogs who are pirates. Because lawful society does not welcome them. And they find their chosen family and. Sorry I need to cry I’ll brb.

If you love Ricken (and even if you don’t) (but who doesn’t?????), you will also love Stede.

If you love The You You Are, you will love talking it through as a crew.

If you love the plant room, you will love this one little well cared for plant?

If you love queer romance watch this show.

In summary my brain liked these things a similar amount thank you for coming to my seminar.

pssst do Rung for the character thing

1: Rung has survivors guilt constantly. He manages it better then like say Hot Shot from armada. but constantly surviving shit no one else can fucks him up.

2: His model building is partly as a coping mechanism to say that if he ever died and was forgotten.. those models are proof he existed.

3: Terrible sweet tooth. But he's also that old mech that hands out candy to younger souls who seems like they might need it.

4: He's got a constant tug and pull on relationships. He feels he can't allow himself to get close to anyone when any one could end up a patient, but he can't help but grow attached in an instant.

5: Rung is a hopeless romantic, but keeps it to himself. He loves seeing people's relationships blossom, but he feels he can't comment on it much.

6: Rung is sometimes grateful to being forgettable, makes it easier to survive when those in his profession seem to be cut down pretty quickly during the war.

7: Functionist Verse Rung... sometimes counts the ways he could die and stay dead. Hoping this next attempt kills him.

8: After surviving so much wit the council. Functionist verse Rung eventually started counting ways he could escape. Or make life hell for his captors.

9: Anything else is spoilers. Finish the comics, Felix!
